Used primarily as a research chemical in neuroscience and pharmacology studies, particularly for its stimulant properties. It acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, making it valuable in examining cognitive enhancement, attention disorders, and addiction mechanisms. Commonly employed as a reference compound in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of substituted pyrrolidines. Also utilized in the development and validation of analytical methods for detecting stimulant compounds in biological samples. Not intended for human use or commercial applications.
